GAC Egypt stands as a prominent maritime services provider situated at one of the world’s most significant shipping crossroads. As a key entity within the wider global infrastructure of the GAC Group, the company focuses on facilitating the movement of vessels, cargo, and crews through the Suez Canal and across the nation's network of ports. Its operations are designed to address the logistical and administrative complexities inherent in Egyptian waters, serving a diverse client base that includes ship owners, charterers, and operators in the commercial shipping and offshore energy sectors.
A central pillar of the company’s activity is the management of Suez Canal transits. The canal serves as a vital artery for international trade, and GAC Egypt acts as a specialized agent for vessels negotiating this passage. The company manages the intricate scheduling, documentation, and financial settlements required by canal authorities, helping vessels adhere to strict transit convoys. This involves close coordination with local officials to mitigate delays and ensure that transit tolls, rebate applications, and regulatory filings are handled accurately for container ships, tankers, and bulk carriers.
Beyond the canal, the company maintains a robust operational footprint in major harbors such as Alexandria, Port Said, Damietta, and Suez. In these locations, it provides comprehensive port agency services. This includes overseeing berth reservations, cargo handling supervision, and protective agency work, where the company acts specifically to safeguard the interests of ship owners or charterers during complex port calls. The scope of their maritime solutions extends to husbandry services, which support the vessel's human and technical needs. The company organizes crew rotations, visa formalities, and medical assistance, while also facilitating the supply of fresh water, spares, and provisions to vessels at anchor or alongside.
The company also plays a significant role in the offshore oil and gas sector, particularly given Egypt’s active energy exploration zones in the Mediterranean. It supports these projects through specialized marine logistics, including the transportation of drilling equipment, rig moves, and the management of supply bases. By integrating shipping agency work with supply chain logistics, GAC Egypt functions as a consolidated support structure for maritime commerce flowing through North Africa.
